I am just laughing SO hard! Beau was barking up a storm, so I went out to see. It was something up the hill, in a patch of sunlit grove. It was a whole *herd* of turkeys. I stood very still and watched them moving for quite a while. Beau was getting more and more agitated, so I grabbed his collar and "escorted" him inside. (He wasn't wishing to do so all that much, but I didn't have to haul him.) Inside, as soon as unhooked, he rushed to his outpost on the stairs (about 2/3 the way up) to see if he could get a better look. Alas, the view from the stairs is to the north, out the front window. The view to the turkeys is to the east, though a solid wall. But he was SO excited to get a chance to "see" better, lol!
I don't think the turkeys cared much. Once they determined he was a voice in the distance, and nothing more, they just went on about their bidness, lol!
A beautiful day in beautiful Vermont, where Howard Dean has been first longest!
ReplyDeleteIndeed. (You lucky dogs.)(Or maybe just *smart* dogs?)
ReplyDeleteWow! Sixty today, sixty six tomorrow, and then mid seventies till the end of the week. . . .
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!
Had to set the computer back this morning: they set it ahead an hour during the night. So finally, the message is out about the new earlier DST times.

ReplyDeleteWe're luck and smart, and we're cool cats. 8-)
ReplyDeleteNow *there's* a lucky dog.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet the turkeys now consider you a benefactor.
Why did you set the computer back? Had you set it ahead last night? (I probably missed a comment.)
ReplyDeleteI set it ahead around noon yesterday. Makes the transition SO easy, lol! (Usually.)
ReplyDeleteAh.
ReplyDeleteWatched HUGO tonight. Highly recommended!

ReplyDeleteThey're a little like Mourning Doves that way...hesitantly skittish...slow to react, but ready to flee when it becomes obvious that they must.
